Abstract excerpt
Twin studies are a valuable resource for studying phenotypes and their underlying biology. Heritability estimates based on the classic twin model show that genes influence human traits including health, diet, and food choice. Metabolomics is a promising tool in nutrition and health research where complex metabolite profiles reflect the metabolic effects of foods and diets as well as the biological pathways...
